This is one of the fastest GTX 580 cards we have ever testedout of the box, though since the release of the AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GBcard in early January the overall single-GPU performance crown hasmoved away from the NVIDIA kingdom. By no means does ths make theGigabyte GTX 580 Super Overclock a bad card (or ANY GTX 580 for thatmatter) but you need to make the judgment based on pricing and budgetmore closely now.
